Education options

When making choices about education, from pre-school to post-secondary, families should allow enough time to find out what is available in their area, and consider options that best meet their child’s educational requirements.

Schooling within mainstream primary and secondary schools may also include specialist schools and education support units; optional alternatives for students requiring higher levels of support.

Australian Government

This Australian Government scheme provides support for parents and carers of primary or secondary students who cannot go to an appropriate State school because of geographical isolation, disability or special health need.

These Australian Government standards clarify the obligations of education and training providers to ensure that students with disability are able to access and participate in education and training on the same basis as those without disability.
